Definitions
- the present invention relates to an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials, and is usable as heat-insulating sheet materials, heat-resistant sheet materials, insulation sheet materials, filter sheet materials, buffer sheet materials, reinforcing sheet materials, etc.
- the inorganic fiber paper is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method, and comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder.
- an inorganic fiber paper produced by wet paper making a predetermined strength may be imparted to an inorganic fiber paper having a high basis weight of not less than 100 g/m 2 by using fine diameter fibers, for example, having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1 ⁇ m as the inorganic fibers, owing to the entanglement of the fine diameter inorganic fibers therein; and therefore, an inorganic fiber paper may be obtained from materials of only inorganic fibers, not using a binder (for example, Patent References 1 and 2).
- a binder for example, Patent References 1 and 2
- an inorganic fiber paper having a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 even though fine diameter inorganic fibers, for example, having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1 ⁇ m are used similarly, the paper could hardly have a satisfactory paper strength only by the entanglement of the fine diameter inorganic fibers therein; and even when any auxiliary strength-enhancing measure of using thick fibers and thin fibers as mixed for the inorganic fibers is employed, use of a binder is inevitable.
- the binder usable in an inorganic fiber paper having such a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 includes an organic fibers such as a synthetic resin emulsion, a thermo-fusible synthetic fibers, micro-fibrillated organic fibers, and an inorganic binder such as an inorganic oxide sol; and it may be used by internal addition (pre-addition to a sheet making stock material) or external addition (post-addition to sheet after wet sheet making) (for example, Patent References 3 to 8).
- the organic binder may undergo oxidation-reduction decomposition owing to the influence of chemical substances or voltage thereon, or may be decomposed or fired by heat, or may generate a volatile gas or may form a side product owing to such decomposition or firing.
- the organic binder therein is not completely fibered but remains therein with forming a small amount of a side product.
- an organic binder containing carbon, oxygen and hydrogen it may generate an organic substance such as aldehyde, ketone and carboxylic acid in incomplete combustion.
- an organic binder further containing nitrogen in addition to carbon, oxygen and hydrogen it may generate a smelling nitrogen compound such as amine compound and nitrile compound in incomplete combustion.
- an inorganic binder such as an inorganic oxide sol (inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder)
- inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder when used as the binder and when the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder is added as internal addition during wet sheet making, there is a problem in that the retention yield of the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder during sheet making is low and therefore a large amount of the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder must be used; and when the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder is added as external addition, there is a problem in that it lowers the flexibility of the inorganic fiber paper and lowers the producibility, thereby increasing the production cost.
- Example 8 in Patent Reference 9 proposes an inorganic fiber paper having a basis weight of 100 g/m 2 and produced from a material comprised of 85 % by mass of micro-glass fibers (average fiber diameter, about 2.7 ⁇ m) and, as an inorganic binder, 15 % by mass of synthetic swelling fluoromica (average fiber diameter, about 6 ⁇ m), by wet sheet making.
- the inorganic fiber paper of Patent Reference 9 uses mica as an inorganic binder, but according to the paper making method where the material is dispersed in water by intercalation of the swelling mica, there is a problem of easy adsorption and intake of impurities (coagulant, impurities in sheet-making water, etc.).
- the hydroxyl group in natural mica is substituted with fluorine, thereby improving its heat resistance of from originally 700°C or so up to 1000°C or so; but owing to the substitution with fluorine, the self-adhesiveness of the mica itself is lowered, and in case where an inorganic fiber paper having a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 is obtained, it may hardly have a satisfactory paper strength. In case of natural mica, those having an average particle diameter of not more than 3 ⁇ m are difficult to obtain.
- mica has poor water resistance, and when used in an environment with much moisture, it may readily cause deterioration of the property of the inorganic fiber paper; and in case where an inorganic fiber paper is obtained according to a wet sheet making method, use of mica is unsuitable.
- the invention is to provide an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 and is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method.
- the inorganic fiber paper comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder.
- the content of impurities during wet sheet making is low, the water resistance and flexibility are good, and satisfactory strength and high porosity can be realized.
- the inorganic fiber paper is produced from a material comprising 60 to 97 % by mass of inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 5 ⁇ m and 3 to 4C % by mass of an inorganic binder formed mainly of a silica-based flaky inorganic material that has a hydroxyl group content per specific surface area of not less than 20 ⁇ mol/m 2 as measured by a BET method, an average particle diameter of which is not more than 2 ⁇ m as measured by a laser scattering method and an aspect ratio of which is not less than 10, the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder and the inorganic fiber paper consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 , as stated in embodiment 1.
- the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 2 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that it is produced from a material comprising 75 to 97 % by mass of the inorganic fibers and 3 to 25 by mass of the inorganic binder formed mainly of the silica-based flaky inorganic material.
- the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 3 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that the inorganic fibers are inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1.5 ⁇ m.
- the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 4 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that the silica-based flaky inorganic material is flaky silica.
- the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 5 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized by having a basis weight of not more than 60 g/m 2 .
- the separator for electric energy storage devices of the invention is characterized comprising of the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 1, as stated in embodiment 6.
- the electric energy storage device of the invention is characterized by comprising the separator for electric energy storage devices of embodiment 6, as stated in embodiment 7.
- the separator for electric double layer capacitors of the invention is characterized by comprising of the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 1, as stated in embodiment 8.
- the electric double layer capacitor of the invention is characterized by comprising the separator for electric double layer capacitors of embodiment 8, as stated in embodiment 9.
- an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 , and is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method.
- the inorganic fiber paper comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder.
- inorganic fibers 60 to 97 % by mass of fine diameter inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 5 ⁇ m are used as the inorganic fibers; and 3 to 40 % by mass of an inorganic binder formed mainly of a silica-based flaky inorganic material that has a hydroxyl group content per specific surface area of not less than 20 ⁇ mol/m 2 as measured by a BET method, therefore having many hydroxyl groups in the surface thereof, and has an average particle diameter of not more than 2 ⁇ m as measured by a laser scattering method and an aspect ratio of not less than 10, and is excellent in self-adhesiveness, is used as the binder.
- an inorganic binder formed mainly of a silica-based flaky inorganic material that has a hydroxyl group content per specific surface area of not less than 20 ⁇ mol/m 2 as measured by a BET method, therefore having many hydroxyl groups in the surface thereof, and has an average particle diameter of not more than 2
- the inorganic fiber paper has a high mechanical strength within a temperature range of from room temperature to 600°C or higher even though it has a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 , further not more than 60 g/m 2 .
- the inorganic fiber paper solves the disadvantages of conventional inorganic fiber papers that comprise an inorganic binder such as inorganic oxide sol or swelling mica; the content of impurities during wet sheet making is low; and the water resistance and the flexibility of the inorganic fiber paper are good.
- the inorganic fiber paper Owing to the synergistic effect of the entanglement effect of the fine diameter inorganic fibers and the binder effect of the inorganic binder, the inorganic fiber paper has a satisfactory mechanical strength even though it has a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m 2 , further not more than 60 g/m 2 .
- the inorganic fiber paper is composed of only inorganic materials, its electrolytic solution wettability, electrolytic solution retentiveness and electrolytic solution permeability are good; and therefore it is suitable to separators for electric energy storage devices such as batteries of charging and discharging by utilizing electrochemical reaction or capacitors of charging and discharging by utilizing a dielectric phenomenon.
- the inorganic fiber paper has excellent heat resistance, not shrinking, deforming and breaking even at high temperatures of 300°C or so, and it may improve the drying efficiency and the dewatering efficiency during water removal from capacitors; and further, it is applicable to solderable coin-shaped capacitors, and is suitable for separators for electric double layer capacitors having high chemical durability, neither generating decomposition products and nor producing a factor of deteriorating the capacitor performance.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials, and is usable as heat-insulating sheet materials, heat-resistant sheet materials, insulation sheet materials, filter sheet materials, buffer sheet materials, reinforcing sheet materials, etc. The inorganic fiber paper is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method, and comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder.
- In case of an inorganic fiber paper produced by wet paper making, a predetermined strength may be imparted to an inorganic fiber paper having a high basis weight of not less than 100 g/m2 by using fine diameter fibers, for example, having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1 µm as the inorganic fibers, owing to the entanglement of the fine diameter inorganic fibers therein; and therefore, an inorganic fiber paper may be obtained from materials of only inorganic fibers, not using a binder (for example, Patent References 1 and 2). However, for an inorganic fiber paper having a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m2, even though fine diameter inorganic fibers, for example, having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1 µm are used similarly, the paper could hardly have a satisfactory paper strength only by the entanglement of the fine diameter inorganic fibers therein; and even when any auxiliary strength-enhancing measure of using thick fibers and thin fibers as mixed for the inorganic fibers is employed, use of a binder is inevitable.
- Heretofore, the binder usable in an inorganic fiber paper having such a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m2 includes an organic fibers such as a synthetic resin emulsion, a thermo-fusible synthetic fibers, micro-fibrillated organic fibers, and an inorganic binder such as an inorganic oxide sol; and it may be used by internal addition (pre-addition to a sheet making stock material) or external addition (post-addition to sheet after wet sheet making) (for example, Patent References 3 to 8).
- However, in case where an organic binder is used as the binder, there may occur problems during use of the inorganic fiber paper, in that the organic binder may undergo oxidation-reduction decomposition owing to the influence of chemical substances or voltage thereon, or may be decomposed or fired by heat, or may generate a volatile gas or may form a side product owing to such decomposition or firing. For example, in case where an inorganic fiber paper is used at a temperature of from 200 to 600°C, the organic binder therein is not completely fibered but remains therein with forming a small amount of a side product. In case where an organic binder containing carbon, oxygen and hydrogen is used, it may generate an organic substance such as aldehyde, ketone and carboxylic acid in incomplete combustion. In case where an organic binder further containing nitrogen in addition to carbon, oxygen and hydrogen is used, it may generate a smelling nitrogen compound such as amine compound and nitrile compound in incomplete combustion.
- In case where an inorganic binder such as an inorganic oxide sol (inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder) is used as the binder and when the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder is added as internal addition during wet sheet making, there is a problem in that the retention yield of the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder during sheet making is low and therefore a large amount of the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder must be used; and when the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder is added as external addition, there is a problem in that it lowers the flexibility of the inorganic fiber paper and lowers the producibility, thereby increasing the production cost.
- Accordingly, as a method of using an inorganic binder except the inorganic oxide sol-based inorganic binder, Example 8 in Patent Reference 9 proposes an inorganic fiber paper having a basis weight of 100 g/m2 and produced from a material comprised of 85 % by mass of micro-glass fibers (average fiber diameter, about 2.7 µm) and, as an inorganic binder, 15 % by mass of synthetic swelling fluoromica (average fiber diameter, about 6 µm), by wet sheet making.

JP-A 2-251214 - Patent Reference 9:
JP-A 9-87992 - However, the inorganic fiber paper of Patent Reference 9 uses mica as an inorganic binder, but according to the paper making method where the material is dispersed in water by intercalation of the swelling mica, there is a problem of easy adsorption and intake of impurities (coagulant, impurities in sheet-making water, etc.). In addition, in the synthetic fluoromica, the hydroxyl group in natural mica is substituted with fluorine, thereby improving its heat resistance of from originally 700°C or so up to 1000°C or so; but owing to the substitution with fluorine, the self-adhesiveness of the mica itself is lowered, and in case where an inorganic fiber paper having a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m2 is obtained, it may hardly have a satisfactory paper strength. In case of natural mica, those having an average particle diameter of not more than 3 µm are difficult to obtain. In addition, mica has poor water resistance, and when used in an environment with much moisture, it may readily cause deterioration of the property of the inorganic fiber paper; and in case where an inorganic fiber paper is obtained according to a wet sheet making method, use of mica is unsuitable.
- In consideration of such conventional problems, the invention is to provide an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m2 and is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method. The inorganic fiber paper comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder. In the inorganic fiber paper, the content of impurities during wet sheet making is low, the water resistance and flexibility are good, and satisfactory strength and high porosity can be realized.
- To attain the above-mentioned object, the inorganic fiber paper is produced from a material comprising 60 to 97 % by mass of inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 5 µm and 3 to 4C % by mass of an inorganic binder formed mainly of a silica-based flaky inorganic material that has a hydroxyl group content per specific surface area of not less than 20 µmol/m2 as measured by a BET method, an average particle diameter of which is not more than 2 µm as measured by a laser scattering method and an aspect ratio of which is not less than 10, the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder and the inorganic fiber paper consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m2, as stated in embodiment 1.
- The inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 2 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that it is produced from a material comprising 75 to 97 % by mass of the inorganic fibers and 3 to 25 by mass of the inorganic binder formed mainly of the silica-based flaky inorganic material.
- The inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 3 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that the inorganic fibers are inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 1.5 µm.
- The inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 4 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized in that the silica-based flaky inorganic material is flaky silica.
- The inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 5 is the inorganic fiber paper stated in embodiment 1, which is characterized by having a basis weight of not more than 60 g/m2.
- The separator for electric energy storage devices of the invention is characterized comprising of the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 1, as stated in embodiment 6.
- The electric energy storage device of the invention is characterized by comprising the separator for electric energy storage devices of embodiment 6, as stated in embodiment 7.
- The separator for electric double layer capacitors of the invention is characterized by comprising of the inorganic fiber paper of embodiment 1, as stated in embodiment 8.
- The electric double layer capacitor of the invention is characterized by comprising the separator for electric double layer capacitors of embodiment 8, as stated in embodiment 9.
- According to the invention, there is provided an inorganic fiber paper that consists substantially of only inorganic materials and has a basis weight of less than 100 g/m2, and is produced mainly by a wet sheet making method. The inorganic fiber paper comprises inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder as materials, wherein the inorganic fibers are bound to each other with the inorganic binder. In this, 60 to 97 % by mass of fine diameter inorganic fibers having an average fiber diameter of not more than 5 µm are used as the inorganic fibers; and 3 to 40 % by mass of an inorganic binder formed mainly of a silica-based flaky inorganic material that has a hydroxyl group content per specific surface area of not less than 20 µmol/m2 as measured by a BET method, therefore having many hydroxyl groups in the surface thereof, and has an average particle diameter of not more than 2 µm as measured by a laser scattering method and an aspect ratio of not less than 10, and is excellent in self-adhesiveness, is used as the binder. Accordingly, owing to the synergistic effect of the entanglement effect of the fine diameter inorganic fibers and the binder effect of the inorganic binder, the inorganic fiber paper has a high mechanical strength within a temperature range of from room temperature to 600°C or higher even though it has a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m2, further not more than 60 g/m2. In addition, the inorganic fiber paper solves the disadvantages of conventional inorganic fiber papers that comprise an inorganic binder such as inorganic oxide sol or swelling mica; the content of impurities during wet sheet making is low; and the water resistance and the flexibility of the inorganic fiber paper are good. Owing to the synergistic effect of the entanglement effect of the fine diameter inorganic fibers and the binder effect of the inorganic binder, the inorganic fiber paper has a satisfactory mechanical strength even though it has a low basis weight of less than 100 g/m2, further not more than 60 g/m2. In addition, since the inorganic fiber paper is composed of only inorganic materials, its electrolytic solution wettability, electrolytic solution retentiveness and electrolytic solution permeability are good; and therefore it is suitable to separators for electric energy storage devices such as batteries of charging and discharging by utilizing electrochemical reaction or capacitors of charging and discharging by utilizing a dielectric phenomenon. In particular, the inorganic fiber paper has excellent heat resistance, not shrinking, deforming and breaking even at high temperatures of 300°C or so, and it may improve the drying efficiency and the dewatering efficiency during water removal from capacitors; and further, it is applicable to solderable coin-shaped capacitors, and is suitable for separators for electric double layer capacitors having high chemical durability, neither generating decomposition products and nor producing a factor of deteriorating the capacitor performance.

Concretely, suitable inorganic fibers are properly selected and used in accordance with the use and the desired functions and characteristics of the inorganic fiber paper.
- For the inorganic fibers, two or more different types of inorganic fiber materials each having a different average fiber diameter may be mixed and used so far as the average fiber diameter of all the inorganic fibers used in the inorganic fiber paper may fall within the defined range.

Accordingly, it is desirable that its use is limited to only an extremely small amount thereof, not more than about 5 % by mass (in the total formulation of the inorganic fiber paper), as an auxiliary material.

Accordingly, the added amount of the inorganic binder is more preferably not more than 25 % by mass. When the added amount of the inorganic binder is too large, then the added amount of the inorganic fibers to form the skeleton of the inorganic fiber paper is to be too small, and it is undesirable since the strength of the inorganic fiber paper could be hardly realized. Accordingly, the added amount of the inorganic fibers is more preferably not less than 75 % by mass. When the added amount of the inorganic binder is less than 3 % by mass, then it is unfavorable since the inorganic binder could hardly exhibit its binder effect and the strength of the inorganic fiber paper is not enough.

- (1) It was confirmed that, though they are inorganic fiber papers consisting substantially only inorganic materials of inorganic fibers and an inorganic binder and having a low basis weight, the inorganic fiber papers of Examples 1 to 4 of the invention have a tensile strength of not less than 3 N/25 mm width both at room temperature and after heated at 600°C, therefore having a sufficient mechanical strength within a temperature range of from room temperature to 600°C, since fine diameter fibers were used as the inorganic fibers therein and since a flaky inorganic material having a small particle diameter and having excellent self-adhesiveness was used as the inorganic binder.
- (2) In particular, the tensile strength at room temperature and after heated at 600°C of the inorganic fiber paper of Example 1, in which flaky silica having an average particle diameter of 0.5 µm was used as an inorganic binder, was increased by about 2 times, as compared with that of the inorganic fiber paper of Example 2, in which flaky silica having an average particle diameter of 1.5 µm was used as the same. From this, it was known that the tensile strength at room temperature to 600°C of the inorganic fiber papers is greatly influenced by the particle diameter of the flaky inorganic material used as the binder therein.
- (3) In the inorganic fiber paper of Example 3, glass fibers having an average particle diameter of 0.6 µm and glass fibers having an average particle diameter of 1.2 µm, mixed in a ratio of. 88:12, were used as inorganic fibers. Accordingly, as compared with the inorganic fiber paper of Example 1 in which only glass fibers having an average fiber diameter of 0.6 µm were used, the tensile strength at room temperature and after heated at 600°C of this inorganic fiber paper increased by from 8 to 10 %, even though the added amount of the inorganic binder therein was reduced by 25 %.
- (4) In the heating test at 300°C, the inorganic fiber papers of Examples 1 to 4 gave no smelling gas in the initial stage of the heating, and after heated, their color did not change. This confirms substantial absence (zero content) of an organic material in these papers.
- (5) The Ignition weight loss of the inorganic fiber papers of Examples 1 to 4 is from 2.0 to 2.1 %. This is higher than the heating weight loss, 0.5 %, of the inorganic fiber paper of Comparative Example 5 in which no binder was used at all, and this may be presumed because of the removal of the adsorbed water and the release of the hydroxyl group from the flaky silica used as the binder therein. In case where inorganic fiber papers are used in the field where water is undesired, they are generally heated at 150°C or higher. When used after heated at 200°C or higher, the inorganic fiber of the invention has no problem in such applications.
- (6) As opposed to the above, the tensile strength at room temperature and after heated at 600°C of the inorganic fiber papers of Comparative Examples 2 to 4, in which swelling synthetic fluoromica (average particle diameter, 5 µm), non-swelling synthetic fluoromica (average particle diameter, 3 µm) and glass flakes (average particle diameter, 40 µm) were used as an inorganic binder, was lower than that of the inorganic fiber paper of Comparative Example 5 in which a binder was not used at all. The binder added to these is not effective at all, and these could not have a satisfactory mechanical strength within a temperature range of from room temperature to 600°C.
- (7) The inorganic fiber paper of Comparative Example 1 additionally contained an organic binder, as added to the formulation of Example 1 in an amount of external 2 % by mass. Accordingly, its tensile strength at room temperature and after heated at 600°C was both good; and in particular, its tensile strength at room temperature increased. However, in the heating test at 300°C, the paper gave a smelling gas in the initial stage of heating, and after heated, it discolored (in brown), and its Ignition weight loss was 4.2 % and was high.
- (8) In the heating test at 300°C, the inorganic fiber papers of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 gave no smelling gas in the initial stage of heating, and after heated, they did not discolor. Therefore, it may be presumed that the content of an inorganic material in these will be substantially zero. Regarding the Ignition weight loss, since the inorganic binder used did not contain many hydroxyl groups, the weight loss of these papers was 0.4 % and was low at the same level as that of the inorganic fiber paper of Comparative Example 5 not containing a binder at all.
- (9) In the heating test at 300°C, the inorganic fiber paper of Comparative Example 2 gave some smelling gas in the initial stage of heating and, after heated, it discolored in some degree (in gray), and its Ignition weight loss was 4.1 % and was high. This may be because, owing to the intercalation effect of the swelling mica therein, the paper would have adsorbed and caught a large amount of impurities such as inorganic materials during its wet sheet making.
